The end-capping agent of this polymer was designed and synthesised from a renewable resource material namely, gallic acid (i.e. 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid), the byproduct of tannin industry. The hydroxyl groups at 3, 4 and 5 positions of gallic acid provide an opportunity for varying the hydrophobicity of the compound. The hydrophobic end-capping compound, 3,4,5tridodecyloxy bezoylazide was prepared from gallic acid and PEGS with different chain lengths (of number average molecular weights, 10000 and 35000 g/mol) were endcapped. using 3,4,5-tridodecyloxybenzoyl azide. The quantitative analysis of end-capping in the polymers was demonstrated by H-1-NMR spectroscopy and the rheological studies were carried out in the surfactant solutions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indo-French Symposium on Fibrillar Networks as Advanced Materials, Inst Charles Sadron, Strasbourg, FRANCE, SEP 21-23, 2005</style></notes><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.67</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kadam, Vijay S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badiger, Manohar V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ducouret, Guylaine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hourdet, Dominique</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synthesis and self-assembling properties of alpha,omega-hydroxy-poly(ethylene oxide) end-capped with 1-isocyanato-3-pentadecylcyclohexane</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymer</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Associating polymer</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrophobically end-capped</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">poly(ethylene oxide)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Star micelles</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCI LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">49</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4635-4646</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A novel hydrophobic compound, 1-isocyanato-3-pentadecylcyclohexane (PDC) issued from a renewable resource material (Cashew Nut Shell Liquid), is used to end-cap poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) of different molecular weights. The synthesis, characterization and self-assembling properties of these new associating polymers are reported. In aqueous solution, PDC modified PEOs self-associate into micellar structures which are characterized by neutron scattering. Using a star-polymer model with sticky hard sphere interactions, it is shown that the characteristics of the micelles mainly depend on the size of the PEO chain. In the case of PDC stickers, the aggregation number decreases from 25 to 17 with increasing molecular weight of PEO, from 10 to 20 kg/mol, respectively. The temperature directly impacts the interaction potential between the hydrophilic coronas of PEO which become less repulsive with increasing temperature. Rheological measurements, performed in dilute solution, clearly demonstrate that PEO micelles self-associate into open supramolecular structures. The correlation length of these loose clusters increases with polymer concentration and the hierarchical self-assembly follows the rules of the percolation theory. The sol/gel transition takes place at the overlap concentration of clusters. In semi-dilute solution, the viscoelastic properties of PDC end-capped PEOs are well described by the Maxwell model with a single relaxation mode. The characteristic time of the network follows an Arrhenius temperature dependence with an activation energy of 70 kJ/mol, in very good agreement with the size of PDC stickers. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
